It felt much warmer this year than it did last. Today it was sunny and a high of -4C (25F) but when the wind came up would feel like -12C (10F). I admit, I felt cold the last hour I was there.

The line-up to get in made me wonder how crowded the place would be.

Although the place was packed, there were no unusually long line ups for beer. I will say there could have been more washrooms as there was always a huge lineup for them but that would be my only complaint of the day. The rest was very well organized.

The first thing we saw when we arrived was this fellow creating an ice sculpture. Teena and I both forgot to check out the finished product before we left.
